- `SERVER_PATH_TO_POSTGRES_DUMP_FILE` must be a file path to a Postgres dump file on the server (not on your local machine!)
- `postgres_default_import_database` defaults to `matrix`, which is useful for importing multiple databases (for dumps made with `pg_dumpall`). If you're importing a single database (e.g. `synapse`), consider changing `postgres_default_import_database` accordingly
- after importing a large database, it's a good idea to run [an `ANALYZE` operation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-analyze.html) to make Postgres rebuild its database statistics and optimize its query planner. You can easily do this via the playbook by running `just run-tags run-postgres-vacuum -e postgres_vacuum_preset=analyze` (see [Vacuuming PostgreSQL](maintenance-postgres.md#vacuuming-postgresql) for more details).

## Vacuuming PostgreSQL
Deleting lots data from Postgres does not make it release disk space, until you perform a `VACUUM` operation.
Deleting lots data from Postgres does not make it release disk space, until you perform a [`VACUUM` operation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-vacuum.html).
To perform a `FULL` Postgres [VACUUM](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-vacuum.html), run the playbook with `--tags=run-postgres-vacuum`.
You can run different `VACUUM` operations via the playbook, with the default preset being `vacuum-complete`:
Example:
- (default) `vacuum-complete`: stops all services temporarily and runs `VACUUM FULL VERBOSE ANALYZE`.
- `vacuum-full`: stops all services temporarily and runs `VACUUM FULL VERBOSE`
- `vacuum`: runs `VACUUM VERBOSE` without stopping any services
- `vacuum-analyze` runs `VACUUM VERBOSE ANALYZE` without stopping any services
- `analyze` runs `ANALYZE VERBOSE` without stopping any services (this is just [ANALYZE](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-analyze.html) without doing a vacuum, so it's faster)
```bash
just run-tags run-postgres-vacuum,start
```
**Note**: for the `vacuum-complete` and `vacuum-full` presets, you'll need plenty of available disk space in your Postgres data directory (usually `/matrix/postgres/data`). These presets also stop all services (e.g. Synapse, etc.) while the vacuum operation is running.
**Note**: this will automatically stop Synapse temporarily and restart it later. You'll also need plenty of available disk space in your Postgres data directory (usually `/matrix/postgres/data`).
Example playbook invocations:
- `just run-tags run-postgres-vacuum`: runs the default `vacuum-complete` preset and restarts all services
- `just run-tags run-postgres-vacuum -e postgres_vacuum_preset=analyze`: runs the `analyze` preset with all services remaining operational at all times
